A supposed documentary that was in reality even more a piece of fiction than Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451".<br /><br />-----------<br /><br />Ducky said: "Siver, Moore's last film was "Capitalism" A Love Story". It did good box office."<br /><br />Moore made his film with the help of government targeted tax breaks to help industry. <br /><br />What do you think of that? <br /><br />I'm the only one here with a balanced view of Moore, and I do happen to know more about him, his films, and career more than anyone else commenting here.<br /><br />His "Capitalism" movie's main point wasn't very well thought out. He forgets that the alternatives to capitalism are far worse. But he did make some good points along the way, especially on the TARP bailout.<br /><br />These bailouts were a massive gift to corporations, and were opposed by conservatives, Republicans, and those on the hard left like Moore. They were supported by Obama and most democrats. Never mind food stamps. Obama is the corporate welfare president.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-68770316190916691382012-03-22T03:53:36.004-06:002012-03-22T03:53:36.004-06:00Ducky: "...they just don't have the imagi...Ducky: "...they just don't have the imagination."<br /><br /> I think you're on to something Ducky. We completely lack the ability to add 2 and 2 and come up with any other answer but 4. That would explain our not buying in to all the fanciful solutions to real world problems. As some wit put it, "Liberals believe that this could be the best of all possible worlds, conservatives know that it is." <br /><br /> BTW, giving Moore the Oscar for best documentary feature for Bowling for Columbine certainly took imagination. Documentaries are supposed to be NON-fiction. Him accepting it amounts to theft by deception, but deception apparently doesn't bother Moore.viburnumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381796879179539552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-67237629259891038152012-03-21T23:42:33.969-06:002012-03-21T23:42:33.969-06:00Your idol worship grows tiresome
